Rebellion
19th September 2004

It is human nature to rebel. The mind has never accepted limitations. Be it spiritual, civil, or even self governed. The human has always chosen to excel - and excel it does by breaking previous records which in itself is a hurdle. Perfection is hence arbitrary and hardly absolute. It is a welcome word which motivates ambition. The rat race is seen in every context of life. Everyone trying to outdo each other, be it in science, economy or everyday life. Common sense suggests that eventually one would get so frustrated with the idea of overzealous growth that it would wreck its own self. To be encompassed within sanity, the man draws rules and norms. It creates a culture and names it society. If you come to think of it in the same light, religion hence is but to tame and restrain human inhabitations. I sometimes feel we are nothing more than puppets in a game we don't understand.
